I prefer wild and sloppy solos to note-perfect guitar masturbation.

J. Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. can solo like a wild motherfucker. His solo at the end of 'Freak Scene' is a firm favourite of mine.

Spoiler for Dinosaur Jr. - Freak Scene:


Kurt's solo in 'Heart-Shaped Box' by Nirvana is probably the ultimate anti-solo. Sounds like he's strangling his guitar.

Spoiler for Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box:


The perfect antithesis to self-indulgent guitar solos is Evan Dando's epic one-note solo in 'Great Big No'. 'Stairway to Heaven' my ass.

Spoiler for Lemonheads - Great Big No:
